Abstract
The performance of a rate-4/5 modulation code is evaluated in two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) channels, where a magnetic medium is described by a discrete Voronoi model, and the two-dimensional sensitivity function of the reader is adopted to generate the TDMR readback signal. Since the read-head sensitivity function covers many tracks, it causes intertrack interference (ITI) that can deteriorate the system performance. Therefore, this letter proposes an ITI subtraction scheme in conjunction with the rate-4/5 modulation code in a coded TDMR channel to mitigate the ITI effect embedded in the readback signals before performing an iterative decoding process. We also investigate the data-dependent readback amplitude distributions and evaluate the TDMR system performance via computer simulation. Results show that the proposed scheme helps improve the TDMR system performance, especially when the areal density is high.
